REDDITCH United Girls FC have struck a deal with their long-haired and bearded coach to give him a whole new look while raising money for the club.

Nick Wildon and the under 12s team have agreed the coach will shave both his head and face - after having had his long locks and facial hair for about 20 years.

The girls and club members have already set about persuading family and friends to chip in but companies are also being sought to help Mr Wildon reach his £1,000 target.

Mr Wildon, whose daughter Amy plays for the under 12s, has been a volunteer at the club for three years.

To sponsor Mr Wildon, call Julie Leroux on 522081 or e-mail www.rugfc.co.uk
